Let's Cross The Finish Line

Thank You Freepers For All Your Support !!

[Mo1]

Mo, are you still up from last night? How are you going to function today?

No .. I got a couple hours of sleep, but Mike had to go into work early today to work on some project and he woke me up.

But that's ok . he's on call this week so I will get to sleep in late

[glock rocks]

Yep. I'm used to seeing mule deer wander through on occasion, but lions are a whole nuther matter. The heavy snows seem to be driving everything down this year. On the upside, I guess our 5 yr drought is ending.

The fundraiser crew guest house pool at Jim's house.

Oooooooooh! : )

[nicmarlo]

I'm used to seeing dead bears (and deer and a coyote)! : )

[nicmarlo]

Morning everybody! : )

[RottiBiz]

That's a sad story, both for the dog and the cougar.

It's sad that the cougar was starving and had to come looking for food in someone's yard.

Sadder for the poor dog and heartbreaking for the family.

I never let my dogs outside except for a few minutes in the fenced portion. We have alligators in our lake, although I've never seen one in our yard.

[RottiBiz]

Good morning, nicmarlo!

[Mo1]

Yea .. having a mountain lion cruising the neighborhood would be a bit un nerving

It seems my kids are having a hard time waking up for school this morning

I think I'll go sing to them in a really loud voice .. I'm sure that will get them moving *L*

[Mo1]

Good Morning Nic

[nicmarlo]

I wasn't able to use the computer yesterday after I got done cleaning....it was "otherwise occupied" all day.....oh well, I got a lot done on a project, so, that's okay. But I will be working two jobs today, so I won't be home 'till late tonight.....I'll only be able to check in again later....sorry I won't be able to bump the thread, again today.

[nicmarlo]

I see New York has slipped to #9, behind PA! : (

Well, it's time to take the older kids to school .. I'll be back in a bit

[glock rocks]

Hi nic... looks like time to break out the deck chairs!

[nicmarlo]

[nicmarlo]

Yeah, and bring me something tropical to drink...this heat's makin' me thirsty! : )

[Gabz]

I thought the bloody thing would never end!!!

No I am not up this is Gabz' computer typing in automatically.....
